Gain Competitive Advantage by Improving Your Ethical Culture
At Ethical Governance we help organizations evaluate and improve the ethical culture and practices of their boards of directors.
The board of directors plays a critical role in setting the tone for ethical behavior within an organization. They are responsible for establishing policies, providing oversight, and ensuring that the organization operates in a responsible and ethical manner. That is why it is essential to assess the ethical culture and practices of the board regularly.
Our uniquely developed Ethical Board Culture Assessment helps you understand your ethical environment, individual board member’s approach to ethics and decision making. Through deep conversations around the board table we help you uncover any potential blind spots.
We work with boards and executive teams to help you set the right tone at the top and promote value-based organizational practices which align day-to-day decisions with the purpose, values and principles.
Our Board Ethics Assessment service provides a comprehensive evaluation of the ethical practices and culture of the board of directors. We use a rigorous, data-driven approach identifying areas of strength and areas that need improvement.
Maintaining a strong ethical culture is much more than simply complying with the laws and regulations. It is more about how boards and organisations deal with ethical dilemmas, what systems are in place to help making tough ethical decisions, what type of behaviour is tolerated and encouraged throughout the organisation.
A strong ethical culture helps you align and integrate your vision and values – such as honesty, fairness and excellence – into daily decisions.
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” ~ Peter Drucker
the most effective means to prevent fraud is to create a culture of ethics and moral dimension within your own company. This means that by creating and nurturing a culture in which anyone can voice what they see as wrong-doing, either through fraud hotlines, confidential disclosure to management, etc., fraud can be mitigated further. – See more at: http://www.cfoleadershipcouncil.com/news/bid/264350/The-Moral-Dimension-of-Leadership-Why-Ethics-Matter#sthash.lqEJvtsx.dpuf
